In 2010, TELUS International Philippines (TIP) launched TELUS International University (TIU) to provide continuing education opportunities for TIP team members. TIP partnered with leading educational institutions in the Philippines, such as De la Salle University and University of Asia and the Pacific, to provide the opportunity for team members to earn college degrees in various fields while concurrently working full-time. By participating in TIU, qualified team members can save up to 50 per cent on the cost of their tuition and benefit from the use of a library within the workplace.
TIP will make its training facilities available so instructors and professors from participating schools will hold classes directly on the TELUS sites where team members are already working. TIU will also offer several extracurricular clubs that cater to the interests of the students, offering team members the opportunity to join clubs such as photography, sports and travel. TIU will also establish an alumni club, which will consist of former TIP team members. Through the alumni club, former team members will be provided with numerous benefits such as invites to company events, business opportunities and professional networking.
